Ormeau Runners Belfast

It's been a tough week for Belfast, and an especially difficult one for our club.

At times like these, we're reminded just how important community is. Running won't fix everything, but it does have a way of bringing people together, getting us out of our own heads for a while, and reminding us that we're not on our own.

This Saturday, Ormeau Runners are taking over Ormeau parkrun in memory of our friend Lisa, who we sadly lost this week. Lisa was a familiar face at parkruns over the years, and we can't think of a more fitting way to honour her memory than by coming together to run, walk, volunteer and support one another.

Whether you're chasing a PB, jogging round with friends, volunteering, or just coming along for a chat afterwards, we'd love to see you.

We'll have our gazebo set up afterwards with tea, coffee and a few buns, and everyone's very welcome to join us.

See you at 9:30am in Ormeau Park.

A huge well done to Eric who took on the Chantilly 10K in France today.

The race looked fantastic, but we have to say we’re all a little jealous of that post-run food spread! 🤤

Enjoy the rest of your time away!

Well done to our Sunday Strollers who were out bright and early this morning!

We had runners covering distances of up to 11 miles, with a few first-timers joining the group as preparations for the Belfast City Half Marathon start to ramp up.

And sure, wasn’t Tommy Bowe the lucky one when he bumped into us at the start of the run? 😄

Well done to our runners who were out in force yesterday evening at Victoria Park & Connswater Athletics Club annual 5 Mile race. A great event, and we were so lucky with the weather!

Photos by event photographer Richard Cowan aren’t they great! ❤️

No.1 on this list does not surprise us at all!

These are the 10 biggest running cities in the UK – and number 1 isn’t London This Global Running Day, we’re honing in on the top running hotspots of our home nation

Happy Global Running Day to all our Ormeau Runners and running friends.

Running is about so much more than miles and finish times. It’s about friendships, community, support and the people we meet along the way.

Whether you’ve found training partners, lifelong friends or simply a place to belong, that’s what makes running special.

Here’s to the miles shared and the friendships made.

Happy Global Running Day!

Well done to our Tuesday trail runners, it looks like they got a break between the rain 🌦️

Another great Monday evening out with our 5k and 5-mile crews! 👟

A perfect way to start the week with some easy miles, good company and plenty of chat along the way. Well done everyone who joined us this evening!
